Establishing a Team in the Philippines Quickly and Effectively
After starting operations in Australia with a small team, DesignCrowd began to explore the possibility of building a team in the Philippines. Having engaged a few Filipino contractors to help with customer support and similar roles, they realized the great value of the Filipino workforce: hard-working, friendly, great communicators, and a positive attitude. DesignCrowd was determined to expand the team in the Philippines but wanted to do so in a scalable and efficient way. They needed to find a solution that would cater to their different needs such as HR administration, payroll processing, compliance with government-mandated benefits, and a great work space.
DesignCrowd started looking for a dependable partner with a thorough understanding of local labor laws and compliance which will reduce legal risk while providing efficient payroll processing, creating a nurturing workplace environment where talents can thrive. They found all these with Penbrothers.
We also helped DesignCrowd source talented candidates who then grew with the company and eventually became experienced employees. DesignCrowd expanded its team with us to include roles in customer service, finance, and marketing after being impressed by the quality of talent the Philippines has to offer.
